Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, specifically a drawer-type stacking device. Background Technology

[0002] In automated manufacturing equipment, conveyor belts are typically used to transport trays. These trays are generally used to hold workpieces and other materials. Through the transport function of the conveyor belt, the trays can be moved to any position on the factory production line, facilitating the flow of workpieces between the production and assembly workshops according to the process requirements of each stage. At the end of the conveyor belt's transport process, the trays have completed their task of transporting materials and need to be collected and organized for the next process.

[0003] Currently, the collection of trays from conveyor belts is typically done manually or using robotic arms or other bionic machines to move the trays to a separately installed collection device. While existing methods effectively achieve the collection goal, manual collection is inefficient, and the equipment used for collecting trays with robotic arms or other bionic machines is expensive. Furthermore, many automated systems integrate conveyor belts within the production equipment, making tray collection cumbersome.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a drawer-type stacking device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on the above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a drawer-type stacking device to solve the problems of low material collection efficiency, high cost and cumbersome operation of material trays on the production line in the prior art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a drawer-type stacking device, including two symmetrically arranged support frames and a linear transport module mounted on the two support frames for conveying trays. Sliding components are respectively installed on both sides of the linear transport module. A bearing plate is slidably mounted on the two sliding components, and multiple one-way limiting components are installed on the bearing plate for supporting the collected trays. A lifting component is installed below the linear transport module and located below the multiple one-way limiting components. The lifting component is used to transfer the trays on the linear transport module to the multiple one-way limiting components for collection.

[0008] As an optional technical solution for a drawer-type stacking device, the sliding assembly includes a mounting bracket, a slide rail, and a slider; the mounting bracket is installed on both sides of the linear transport module, the slider is fixed to the mounting bracket, and the slide rail is slidably connected to the slider; the support plate is installed on the upper end of the slide rail.

[0009] As an optional technical solution for a drawer-type stacking tray device, the one-way limiting component includes a limiting seat, a limiting block, and a pivot pin; the limiting seat is mounted on the support plate, and the limiting block is connected to the limiting seat by means of the pivot pin, which can be flipped upwards by 90 degrees.

[0010] As an optional technical solution for a drawer-type stacking device, the linear transport module is provided with support plates on both sides. One end of the support plate is provided with an adjustment groove. The support plate is installed on the side of the linear transport module through the adjustment groove and can be moved up and down. The other end of the support plate is provided with a limit sensor.

[0011] As an optional technical solution for a drawer-type stacking device, multiple guide members are installed at intervals on the support plate, and a baffle is connected to the same end of two support plates, with a pull handle provided on the baffle.

[0012] As an optional technical solution for a drawer-type stacking device, the linear transport module includes two crossbeams installed parallel to each other on the support frame. Gears are respectively provided on the inner sidewalls at both ends of the two crossbeams. A transport belt connects the two gears on the same crossbeam. A drive shaft connects the two gears at the same end. A driven wheel is mounted on the drive shaft. A drive motor is mounted below the drive shaft. A drive wheel is mounted on the output end of the drive motor. A drive belt connects the drive wheel and the driven wheel.

[0013] As an optional technical solution for a drawer-type stacking device, the lifting assembly includes a lifting cylinder vertically disposed below the linear transport module and a lifting plate installed at the output end of the lifting cylinder.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This utility model provides a drawer-type stacking device, which includes two symmetrically arranged support frames and a linear transport module mounted on the two support frames for conveying trays. Sliding components are respectively installed on both sides of the linear transport module. A bearing plate is slidably mounted on the two sliding components, and multiple one-way limiting components are installed on the bearing plate for supporting the collected trays. A lifting component is installed below the linear transport module and located below the multiple one-way limiting components.

[0016] In the above structure, the material trays on the production line are transported to the top of the lifting assembly via a linear transport module. Then, the lifting cylinder drives the lifting plate to move upward against the material tray. At this time, the material tray abuts the bottom of the limiting block, causing the limiting block to flip upward 90 degrees. The limiting block then flips downward 90 degrees under its own weight to return to a flat state. Simultaneously, the output end of the lifting cylinder retracts, driving the lifting plate to move downward and return to its original position. The material tray falls back onto multiple limiting blocks under its own weight. This process is repeated to stack and collect multiple material trays on the limiting blocks. Finally, the operator pulls the handle on the baffle, and the material tray moves outward through the support plate and sliding assembly, facilitating the removal of the material tray. This drawer-type stacking device has a simple structure, improves the efficiency of material tray collection, and reduces the manufacturing cost of the equipment. On the other hand, the sliding drawer structure facilitates the loading and unloading of material trays, simplifying the operation during material tray collection. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it.

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a drawer-type stacking device, which includes two symmetrically arranged support frames 1 and a linear transport module 2 mounted on the two support frames 1 for conveying trays 8. Sliding components 3 are respectively mounted on both sides of the linear transport module 2. A bearing plate 4 is slidably mounted on the two sliding components 3. Multiple one-way limiting components 5 are mounted on the bearing plate 4 for supporting the collected trays 8. A lifting component 6 is mounted on the linear transport module 2 and below the multiple one-way limiting components 5. The lifting component 6 is used to transfer the trays 8 on the linear transport module 2 to the multiple one-way limiting components 5 for collection.

[0029] This utility model provides a drawer-type stacking tray device. A linear transport module 2 transports the trays 8 to be collected to the top of a lifting assembly 6. A lifting cylinder 60 then drives a lifting plate 61 to move upwards against the trays 8. At this point, the trays 8 abut against the bottom of a limiting block 51, causing the limiting block 51 to flip upwards by 90 degrees. The limiting block 51 then flips downwards by 90 degrees under its own weight to return to a flat state. Simultaneously, the output end of the lifting cylinder 60 retracts, driving the lifting plate 61 downwards to return to its original position. The tray 8 falls back onto multiple limiting blocks 51 under its own weight, and this process is repeated to collect multiple trays 8 in layers on the limiting blocks 51. Finally, the operator pulls the handle buckle on the baffle 41, and the tray 8 moves outward through the support plate 4 and the sliding component 3, making it easy to remove the tray 8. This drawer-type tray stacking device has a simple structure, improves the efficiency of tray 8 collection, and reduces the manufacturing cost of the equipment. On the other hand, the sliding drawer structure facilitates the picking up and putting down of the tray 8, simplifying the operation of tray 8 collection.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the linear transport module 2 includes two parallel crossbeams 20 mounted on the support frame 1. Gears 21 are respectively provided on the inner sidewalls of the two crossbeams 20 near their ends. A transport belt 22 is connected between the two gears 21 mounted on the same crossbeam 20. The two transport belts 22 are at the same height and are arranged parallel to each other. The material tray 8 is moved by the two transport belts 22. A drive shaft 23 is connected between the two gears 21 located at the same end. A driven wheel 24 is mounted on the drive shaft 23. A drive motor 25 is mounted below the drive shaft 23. A reducer is mounted on the output end of the drive motor 25. A drive wheel 26 is mounted on the other end of the reducer. The drive wheel 26 and the driven wheel 24 are rotatably connected by a drive belt 27. The lifting assembly 6 is located on the side close to the drive motor 25 and below the two conveyor belts 22. The drive motor 25 drives the transmission belt 27 to drive the transmission shaft 23, thereby driving the two conveyor belts 22 to move synchronously, and thus transporting the material tray 8 from one end of the conveyor belt 22 to the top of the lifting assembly 6.

[0031] Specifically, the lifting assembly 6 includes a lifting cylinder 60 and a lifting plate 61 installed at the output end of the lifting cylinder 60. The output end of the lifting cylinder 60 is vertically upward. When the linear transport module 2 transports the tray 8 to the transport belt 22 above the lifting plate 61, the lifting cylinder 60 receives a command to drive the lifting plate 61 to move upward. The lifting plate 61 passes between the two transport belts 22 in sequence and abuts against the bottom of the tray 8 and lifts it upward, thereby transferring the tray 8 to multiple one-way limiting components 5 for collection. Therefore, the lifting assembly 6 can collect multiple trays 8 in layers, improving the efficiency of tray 8 collection.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, four unidirectional limiting components 5 are provided, arranged in pairs on the support plate 4, with a suitable spacing between the two unidirectional limiting components 5 in each group to support the same side of the material tray 8; the four unidirectional limiting components 5 are arranged in a rectangular shape; specifically, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the one-way limiting component 5 includes a limiting seat 50, a limiting block 51, and a pivot pin 52. The limiting seat 50 is mounted on the bearing plate 4, and the limiting block 51 is connected to the limiting seat 50 via the pivot pin 52, which allows it to rotate upwards by 90 degrees. One end of the limiting block 51 extends toward the opposite crossbeam 20, and the end of the limiting block 51 away from the limiting seat 50 is arc-shaped, so that the right angle of the limiting block 51 will not cause wear to the material tray 8 when it moves upwards. The upper surface of the limiting block 51 is flat, and its lower surface is inclined upwards, so that the resistance when the material tray 8 moves upwards is smaller and smoother. The limiting block 51 has an arc-shaped chamfer near the limiting seat 50. Therefore, the limiting block 51 can only rotate upwards by 90 degrees.

[0033] Furthermore, multiple guide members 40 are installed at intervals on the support plate 4. The upper part of the guide member 40 is inclined outward. When multiple trays 8 move upward, the guide member 40 can stack the multiple trays 8 in a standardized manner. A baffle 41 is connected to the same end of the two support plates 4. The baffle 41 is provided with a pull buckle 401. When the trays 8 on the one-way limiting component 5 are stacked to the target number, the support plate 4 is slid on the sliding component 3 and moved outward by pulling the pull buckle. At this time, the collected trays 8 are moved outward together, making it easy to take out the trays 8. This structure can perfectly replace the robot arm in the prior art to pick up and put down the trays 8. Moreover, the structure is simple and reduces the manufacturing cost of the production equipment.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the sliding assembly 3 in this embodiment includes a mounting bracket 30 installed on the outer surfaces of the two crossbeams 20. At least two sliders 32 are spaced apart on the mounting bracket 30, and slide rails 31 are connected to the two sliders 32. The bearing plate 4 is installed on the slide rails 31 and slides relative to the sliders 32 via the slide rails 31. Furthermore, a support plate 7 is also installed on the outer surfaces of the two crossbeams 20. The lower end of the support plate 7 is provided with an adjustment groove 70. The support plate 7 is vertically movable to the crossbeams 20 via the adjustment groove 70. A limit sensor 71 is installed at the upper end; thus, the limit sensor 71 can adjust the height between itself and the material tray 8 by moving the support plate 7 up and down on the crossbeam 20. In other words, the limit sensor 71 can flexibly control the number and height of the stacked material trays 8 on the one-way limit component 5. When the number of material trays 8 collected reaches the target height, the limit sensor 71 triggers an alarm to prompt the staff to pick up and put down the material trays 8, which makes the drawer-type stacking device more automated, simpler to operate, and helps to improve the efficiency of material tray 8 collection.

Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
